      Book Description

      Hanna Pitkin argues that Wittgenstein's later philosophy offers a revolutionary new conception of language, and hence a new and deeper understanding of ourselves and the world of human institutions and action.

      5 out of 5 stars The best explication of Wittgenstein!.......2003-02-21

      In my study of Wittgenstein's later philosophy, the one book I have found to be the most helpful was Pitkin's. Perhaps because she works through the implications of Wittgenstein's radical philosophy for a particular set of conundra. She weaves together a tapestry from, it seems, a 1000 sources. Her use of source is amazing. Her quotes from Cavell's book are better than the book itself; that is, the bits and pieces she picks, and the order and context she provides for them, is far more coherent than the book itself. The same could be said for her presentation of Wittgenstein, of whom it could never be said that he explained his ideas clearly. Nevertheless, he got it right, and to this day few apreciate the fullness of his critique of modern philosophy or its implications. Pitkin does.

          Book Description

          Most, if not all, books on allelopathy cover the ecological, agronomic, and descriptive physiological aspects. And although the amount of papers published on the chemical aspects and mode of action of these compounds continues to rise, there has been, until now, no book available that reflects the latest literature. Written by experts, Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals is the first book to focus on the chemical phenomena of allelopathy. The book discusses the chemicals responsible for the allelopathic phenomena and, closely connected with them, the modes of action of these compounds in the plant. Each chapter is dedicated to a single class of compounds and contains either a methods section describing how to perform the bioassays or references to the appropriate literature. The methods covered include first-line technologies such as proteomic techniques applied to allelopathic studies. Where other books on this subject highlight the "fuzzier" aspects, this one covers the hard science. It explores the latest developments in the field, discusses structure-activity relationships and SAR studies, and provides a foundation for the development of new natural herbicides. Designed as a practical, bench-friendly book, Allelopathy: Chemistry and Mode of Action of Allelochemicals is a convenient, easy-to-use resource that puts the latest information within easy reach.

                            Book Description

                            This book is the proceedings of the Falk Symposium No. 138 on "State of the Art of Hepatology: Molecular and Cell Biology" (part of the XII International Falk Liver Week 2003 in honour of Hans Popper’s 100th birthday, held on October 20--11, 2003), and reflects the tremendous advances in the science of hepatology both at the molecular as well as the cellular level.

                            The book comprises four major sections. In Section I, the basic aspects of liver cell biology are covered, including RNA metabolism, regeneration, transport and metabolic functions, as well as fibrogenesis and malignant transformation. In Section II, the novel field of stem cell plasticity and cell therapy for liver diseases is discussed in detail, including stem cell biology, hepatocyte transdifferentiation from extrahepatic stem cells and their therapeutic use for liver cell repopulation, as well as hepatocyte transplantation. In Section III, novel therapeutic strategies for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma are presented, including the reversal of liver fibrosis, oncolytic biotherapy and different concepts of gene therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma. In Section IV, novel aspects of gene therapy and prevention of liver diseases are addressed, including small interfering RNAs, ribozymes, antisense oligonucleotides, as well as DNA vaccination.

                            An international faculty of outstanding scientists from different research areas presents the state of the art on these most important aspects of hepatology and their perspectives for future developments. Molecular and cell biology are at the very centre of research developments in modern hepatology and are of interest and importance to both basic scientists as well as clinicians involved in patient care.

                                This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A038023. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: A surface ship subjected to an underwater explosion is exposed to shock waves over a short period of time which can vary in magnitude based on charge type, size, and location. The energy of those waves impinging upon the hull is transmitted throughout the ship's structure and vital equipment. The dynamics of the shock waves also influence the fluid surrounding the outer hull of the ship, creating an area of cavitating fluid. The combination of the shock waves, bubble pulsations, and cavitating fluid induce shipwide vibrations on hull supports and mission essential equipment which may become inoperative. In view of congressional requirements for new ship designs and systems to be shock tested, this thesis investigates the modeling of a preliminary design (Flight I) of the Arleigh Burke Destroyer (DDG 51) exposed to an underwater explosion. The effects of cavitation on one and two dimensional models is explored to determine if cavitation effects are substantially important to a three dimensional ship model. Validation of modeling underwater explosion effects upon a ship model can provide potential insight and savings in cost for future live fire testing and evaluation of the Flight IIA (DDG 79) design of the Arleigh Burke Destroyer.

                                    Kinetics of Metal-Gas Interactions at Low Temperatures is devoted to the formation of a natural oxide film. This few nm thick surface layer is produced instantaneously if oxygen or water vapor is present in the gas atmosphere. It is responsible for the corrosion behavior, for wear and friction of metallic materials, as well as for hydrogen embrittlement or poisoning of catalytic surface reactions. Oxidation impedes experiments in surface sciences and production processes in modern thin-film technology. It can reliably be avoided only if expensive ultra-high vacuum techniques are applied. This monograph presents an introduction to the subject in a tutorial style. It demonstrates how complex metal-gas interactions can be analyzed by standard procedures of chemical kinetics.

                                        Book Description

                                        Metal-ligand interactions are currently being studied in different fields, from a variety of points of view, and recent progress has been substantial. Whole new classes of compounds and reactions have been found; an arsenal of physical methods has been developed; mechanistic detail can be ascertained to an increasingly minute degree; and the theory is being developed to handle systems of ever-growing complexity. As usual, such multidisciplinarity leads to great opportunities, coupled with great problems of communication between specialists.
                                        It is in its promotion of interactions across these fields that Metal-Ligand Interactions: From Atoms, to Clusters, to Surfaces makes its timely contribution: the tools, both theoretical and experimental, are highly developed, and fundamental questions remain unanswered. The most fundamental of these concerns the nature of the microscopic interactions between metal atoms (clusters, surfaces) and ligands (atoms, molecules, absorbates, reagents, products) and the changes in these interactions during physical and chemical transformation.
                                        In Metal-Ligand Interactions, leading experts discuss the following, vital aspects: ab initio theory, semi-empirical theory, density functional theory, complexes and clusters, surfaces, and catalysis.

                                                Book Description

                                                In recent years noncommutative geometry has been a rich topic of research with discoveries leading to an increasing number of applications in mathematics and theoretical physics. Very little has appeared in book form since Alain Connes' work in the early 90s to deal with this subject. "Elements of Noncommutative Geometry" fills an important gap in the literature.

                                                Key features of the work include: * unified and comprehensive presentation of core topics and key research results drawing from several branches of mathematics
                                                * rigorous, well-written, nearly self-contained exposition of noncommutative geometry and some of its useful applications to quantum theory
                                                * excellent exposition of introductory material; main topics covered repeatedly in the text at gradually more demanding levels of difficulty
                                                * many applications to diverse fields: index theory, foliations, number theory, particle physics, and fundamental quantum theory
                                                * rich in proofs, examples and exercises
                                                * comprehensive bibliography and index

                                                This text is an introduction to the language and techniques of noncommutative geometry at a level suitable for graduate students, and also provides sufficient detail to be useful to physicists and mathematicians wishing to enter this rapidly growing field. It may also serve as a reference text on several topics that are relevant to noncommutative geometry.

                                                  From Korea, comes a collection of incisive observant short stories by a leading artist. Reading these thirteen exceptional stories is an experience similar to appreciating a touching poem or watching a series of stills from a silent movie. Combining the traits of different artistic genres, O has indeed created his own world of comic art. While eloquently presenting a universal human experience, O also brings a delightful and exotic insight into Korean society. Whereas Manwa (Korean comics) can be much more than we expect... For mature readers.
